Did You Lose Something?
Is this the image we want folks to have when they visit or pass through Gloucester?

This trash was spotted along Rt. 14 near Patriots Way. It took 4 orange VDOT trash bags to hold all the trash and garbage from this tenth-of-a-mile long area of the median strip and northbound shoulder. That is approximately 115 pounds of trash dumped in this small section. 

On Sunday April 1, volunteers from the Lighthouse Worship Center and the Verge Youth Church picked up litter and trash from a 1.5 mile long section of Rt. 14 between the Mathews County line and Main Street.  They collected a total of 36 bags of trash and litter weighing approximately 1,000 pounds.

Roadside litter and trash are eyesores and can be dangerous and unhealthy.  Please do your part by ensuring your trash is transported securely and disposed of in the proper place.


Citizens Needed for Clean Community Committee
The Clean Community Committee of Gloucester County is seeking interested citizens from the Petsworth, Ware, and York Magisterial Districts to serve as members of the advisory group. Committee members plan and participate in cleanup, public education, and outreach activities. Currently the Committee is addressing litter prevention efforts through coordinated cleanups, advocating for improvements to Virginia’s litter law, promoting green initiatives, and working to increase awareness of how litter negatively affects the local environment.

The committee meets monthly to discuss matters relating to county beautification efforts, litter prevention and cleanup programs, recycling, and environmental education. The Committee meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM. The Committee currently meets at T.C. Walker Elementary School.

Citizens interested in serving should complete a Volunteer Board Bank information form available on the county’s website or e-mail William Bell or call 804-693-5370.

Clean Community Program Volunteers Making A Difference
Gloucester County's Clean Community Program promotes litter prevention; helps educate county residents on ways to reduce, reuse, recycle, and properly manage waste materials; and assists in effective beautification to help create a healthier, safer, and more livable community. The program is directed by the Clean Community Committee and supported by hundreds of community volunteers who work to help keep Gloucester beautiful, clean, and litter free.




















We truly appreciate the volunteers who give their time to help make Gloucester cleaner and greener.
